Chinese delivery workers confronted Mayor de Blasio at a town hall in Flushing last night, asking him to rethink the city’s upcoming crackdown on e-bikes and work to improve conditions for people who use them to earn a living. The mayor said the e-bike enforcement plan is non-negotiable, but that the city may be open to legalizing them in a way that “protects public safety.”

Speaking on behalf of 20 Flushing residents who deliver food in Manhattan, Jinhua Li asked through a translator if the city could protect e-bike workers instead of policing them. The workers depend on the vehicles to get through long shifts, and many are immigrants who will be more vulnerable to deportation after e-bike citations.

The overall number of people killed in traffic crashes, including pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, drivers and passengers, was 229 last year, down from 234 in 2015, according to preliminary data from the city. Pedestrian deaths, which accounted for the largest share of fatalities, increased last year to 144, from 139 in 2015. Cyclist deaths rose last year to 18, from 14 in 2015.
